When I’m happy:

     I’m the blinding white of sun rays.

     I’m the warmth you feel after a long-awaited hug.

     I’m the neverending buzz of conversation.


But when I’m mad:

     I’m the red of flushed cheeks.

     I’m the chill of loneliness and hate.

     I’m the neverending silence after an argument.


And maybe that’s why:

I try

        to stay

                   happy.
